no option but to use the smbios information to fill in the blanks.
It's a good thing UGA is a protocol of the past and GOP has all the
info we need.
Anyway, the logic has been tweaked a little to get the easier bits
of information up front. This includes the resolution and the frame
buffer address. Then we look at the smbios information and define
expected values as well as the missing bits (frame buffer offset and
stride). If the values obtained match the expect values, we fill in
the blanks and return. Otherwise we use the existing detection logic
to figure it out.
Rename the environment variables from uga_framebuffer abd uga_stride
to hw.efifb.address and hw.efifb.stride. The latter names are more
in line with other variable names.
We currently have hardcoded settings for:
1. Mid-2007 iMac (iMac7,1)
2. Late-2007 MacBook (MacBook3,1)
striking a delicate balance between exhaustive searching and
banking on assumptions. The environment variables can be used
as a fall-back anyway. With this change, all known and tested
Macs with only UGA should have a working console out of the
box... for now...
in the frame buffer when we flip pixels. Allow the detection
to be bypassed by setting the uga_framebuffer and uga_stride
variables. The kernel console works fine even when we can't
detect pixel changes in the frame buffer, which indicates
that the problem could be with reading from the frame buffer
and not writing to it.
PCI BARs does not necessarily correspond to the upper-left
most pixel. Scan the frame buffer for which byte changed
when changing the pixel at (0,0).
Use the same technique to determine the stride. Except for
changing the pixel at (0,0), we change the pixel at (0,1).

command called 'uga' to show whether UGA is implemented by the
firmware and what the settings are. It also includes filling
the efi_fb structure from the UGA information when GOP isn't
implemented by the firmware.
Since UGA does not provide information about the stride, we
set the stride to the horizontal resolution. This is likely
not correct and we should determine the stride by trial and
error. For now, this should show something on the console
rather than nothing.
Refactor this file to maximize code reuse.

command has the following sub-commands:
list - list all possible modes (paged)
get - return the current mode
set <mode> - set the current mode to <mode>
